Maybe Just One (Complete)

[Roka]

Roka wasn't well versed in hand to hand combat, but could wield a small knife and shift his body around many potential attacks. He was glad to see he would be free to jump in, if not a little perturbed by Seradell's reaction. He smirked, "My pleasure" he answered pulling from a leather wrap his eating knife and placed himself in front of the girl.

When the first brute lunged them, he aimed a sloppy punch to Roka’s face. He pulled out of the way the blow landing on his chest while his wielded knife sliced at the man’s throat. One thing the wild had taught him, and obviously his fellow Kelvic, was no matter what the creature was a lunge to the neck would end the fight.

The man was barely grazed but stumbled back, surprised. Maybe a drunken fight would be more challenging than he thought. He saw another man approaching his side seemingly more interested in his female company. He turned to the other man and growled.

His hunting instinct kicked in along with an inexperienced anger. The sun slipped in dancing across the side of his face as he approached. When hunting, aim for the weak points.

One. Mobility. He threw a downward kick to the man’s knee, blowing it out. The man fell with an angered grunt. He grabbed Roka's thigh and was greeted with another kick to the face, breaking the man's nose in a gush of blood. "Stand down, human" He barked, the light hitting his golden eyes. The man looked disturbed gazing up at his assailant’s slitted vengeful eyes and began to slide back. Roka turned back to the other man, raising his knife to point at the other man from a few feet away. The man jumped forward.

Two. Groin. He kicked the man squarely in-between his legs, and as he began to fall over Roka raised his knee to strike him in the chest. Roka grabbed the man's hair in a fist and yanked him back, placing the knife to this face and then dragging it down from the soft skin of the man’s eye to the mouth. The blood beaded in bright red drops and he ran his thumb over the liquid, smearing it over the man's cheek and then licked it barbarically.

Soon the other attacker rose, grabbing Roka around his chest pulling him back, as his companion rose striking him across the cheek and then again in the stomach. He looked squarely in his aggressor’s eyes and laughed. He felt the sting of the blows but the ale had helped substantially. No wonder they could easily continue.

Three. Lights out. As another blow stuck his ribs and the guy backed up as if he would deliver a final assault. Roka rolled his weight back against his restrainer’s chest, tucking his knees to his chest. When the fellow came closer, he launched his heels toward his enemy’s chin. The guy stopped and then fell backward, knocked out.

He and the man behind him fell to the floor, the arms around his chest releasing him as he rolled backward over the fallen body and landed crouched, face to face with the drunk. He smirked, his sharp teeth peeking across his lip at the man pale face. “Finished yet?” He cooed. The fallen nodded, continent to take he and his friend home with their lives.

Roka stood and looked to Seradell, his face and chest sprinkle with blood and marks of red painted over the pale skin of his chest and side. He offered her a smile and then glanced to watch through the door, the continuing fight that started it all.

[Aerika]

Looking into the bloodshed, Aerika was disappointed to see only one man other than the fox was still standing. He was behind the other fox kelvic, a large wooden plank in his hand and in full swing. Thinking fast, Aerika jumped into action, pushing Roka out of harm's way, but taking the swing of the plank to her shoulder. A yelp of pain left her throat as she turned to face the man that had just hit her. Nothing but pure anger mixed with tears of pain filled her eyes, she grabbed the plank with one hand and lifted it off of her shoulder. She twisted the plank so it would twist the man's arm, she grabbed his arm and continued to twist it until she heard several popping noises fill the air. The man shrieked from the bones breaking in his arm as Aerika smiled and pulled his arm closer to her, forcing the man to bend over. The kelvic then grabbed his neck, pulled him further down, closer to the ground, she placed her foot on the back of his neck and stomped until her foot was stopped by the ground beneath them. The man fell over limp and the girl looked back up to her help in the fight, the other fox kelvic. Aerika began to wonder what the odds were that she would meet another kelvic and it would be a fox that could fight. Letting the thought roll around in her head, she walked back into the tavern completely casual, as though nothing had just occurred. Merv smirked and tossed another glass of milk down the counter. She grabbed a hold of the new glass, downing the whole thing, she then set the glass back and took a hold of the older glass, attempting to down it as well. Aerika thanked Merv for the drinks and set one gold coin along with ten silvers, "Watch my bag?" Merv nodded and took the coins and the bag as she left the tavern still covered in blood. The Blood-Stained girl then headed off to the nearest fountain to bathe the blood off of her skin and hopefully to get most of it out of her hair.
